Hi i read that bugbear exploits a known vunerability for internet explorer, where can i get the patch? I downloaded IE SP2 (didnt get sp1 it didnt have the option,maybe sp2 has the fixes from sp1 aswell?) has that automatically sealed the hole? I dont want to get ie 6 as i had that before that just gives me them damn boxes to send reports to microsoft all the time :(

many thanks

Not sure about that Weezer, I think you probably need the SP1 update too.
